Hello Again!

I know - it's been a long time. I have been crafting away, but I haven't taken any photos! I was planning on doing it this weekend, but I lost my cord that connects my camera to my computer, so I decided not to worry about taking a bunch of pictures yet, and to just work on some projects.

According to Ravelry, I have 22 projects on the go. 6 of them are as far along as I can go without buying more yarn, which means that 16 of them are just in the works...Oye. Yesterday I started on a blanket for a friend's wedding in June, hoping that I would get a bit of it done so that I could at least give them a photo of it with a promise that it would be done soon. Looks like it might not be so bad! I have 2 repeats of the pattern done already, and the pattern only calls for 8. I might do a few more, just because I have the extra yarn (I bought an extra 12 ounce ball thinking that I needed more, but apparently not). We'll see.

I also have some yarn coming in (I know, I wasn't supposed to buy more this year, but I had to!!) for a few more projects. I have a great, funky idea for a baby blanket for one of my best friends who is having a baby girl at the end of June. I have to admit, I am so excited about this one. It's going to be so bright and out there, in regards to a normal baby blanket, but I know that the momma is going to love it!

Since all that I have is my phone camera right now, I'll leave you with a couple of photos that I took - one on Friday, the other yesterday.

Friday Night

Saturday Morning
Yep, that's snow! Thursday night we went to bed, and the deck was free of snow, and the yard, except for a patch along the fence on the left that doesn't get much sunlight. Then we woke up to that. I knew that there was a snowfall warning, but daaaaaamn! That's a lot of snow!

If you didn't already know, I live in northern British Columbia, Canada, and this is pretty typical with us. Most of it has melted by now, but it still sucks. I was planning on starting jogging, but the sidewalks are slick again and I really don't think hurting myself is something I should do.

Anyways, hopefully I will have some project photos to share soon! So many on the go right now, it will be a nice, long post!
